Have you had the fault codes read?

Buy the likes of F Super from ebay for £20, its brilliant for reading the codes and can also programme injectors.

My mechanics snap on reader couldn't see the EGR fault code on mine, F super showed it straight away

 

Hi

Thank you for replying to my post,i am waiting for the code reader to arrive so will keep you posted

 

Mine did the same. It was the injectors. Did a leak off test. Injectors 3&4 were leaking buckets. Ended up being a bugger to start as the rail pressure won't build up. Found a guy on eBay who reconed them for £114 each and a 3 day turn around. Been spot on since. eBay item No. 161112898724

 

Sorry for slow response just bought my second code reader which is the f-super like suggested and this is not compatible with my car anybody got any suggestions please (can't afford many more)

 

In what way isn't it compatible?

 

F-super should work. It's what I got for mine. I have a 53 2004 TDCI and it works for the PCM the injectors and airbags. All tho for some reason won't work the abs. Any how I can trace and delete dtc's gives codes and a vague description. I can even enter injector codes. I found the software a chew on to install into my laptop. Maybe you've not installed the software correctly!

 

Or do you mean it doesn't list your exact car? It doesn't list 2.2 Mondeo but I just went into diesel Mondeo and it works fine

 

I bought obd11 reader screen lights up but does not show anything, told it was probably the wrong code reader I was advised to buy the f-super after waiting weeks for it to arrive and lots of problems installing the software plugged it into the car and it says connection failed turn key on ,when I turn the key it just repeats the message short of setting fire to the car I don't know what to do next,

 

It will defo work for your car. It sounds yo me like the software hasn't been installed correctly. Failing that a faulty unit. I had hassle installing the software. You have to nominate a comm port and select it when you run the formidable app. The disc I had showed me how to do it via a short video.

 

A EOBD/OBD2 code reader should work on a 2004 diesel.
Does this code reader work on other (EOBD compliant) cars?
When yes, check wiring in your vehicle. When no, the unit was defective.

 

I vaguely remember having issues with ports tho it was a couple of years ago I installed it in a laptop.

If the correct port isn't selected then it will def show the connection error.

 

Think you have to go into the device management and find a free comm port. Between certain numbers. Then when you run formidable select the said port and it comes up with a list of cars. Think first time you do that it never a asks for a port again. Bit of a faff but once it's working it's usually pretty good for what it is and costs.
